Meet our local partners
During our adventure we will meet and be guided by two of our brazilian partners. Marco will join us in Cangalha to be primarily our hiking guide. Patricki will be our host during the time in Eco-Tribo Mãetiqueira. Get to know them a little bit more:
Overview
From mega city Rio de Janeiro to pure off grid nature housing, you will get a wide spectrum of Brazil and human living on Earth. Pure magic, rich culture, amazing people, ancient nature, stunning views, breathtaking landscapes as well as natural waterfall baths will make you have a life transforming experience. Our travel mostly takes us through the holy lands of Minas Gerais. In parts, we will be guided by locals. We are going to directly interact with people from the area. Paranormal phenomena and dimensional shifts are easier to occur on our route since we are entering, what is for many Brazilians, the location of the heart chakra in Brazil. It is common to feel a comfortable sensation in your being as your spirit will be lifted naturally being grounded in this region. It is not uncommon that phenomenas from unknown outer, inner and astral worlds occur which make it all the way into our physical realm. This trip gives you a perfect chance to grow deeper roots into our mother earth and at the same time elevate your soul. You can use it either way to ground yourself stronger or make extra dimensional contact. It is just as well possible to take in the whole spectrum of life as it is offered to us. Have your mind blown. Open the doors to yet unimaginable perspectives.

Marco
Strongly connected to nature, Marco is an environmental manager and educator. He also has experience in the therapeutic area and is a full-time yoga instructor. Marcial arts and circus are some of his greatest passions as well as have a significant influence on his lifestyle. It also helps Marco to have a great awareness for the physical body. Additionally, nutricional coaching and food awareness are qualities that contribute more to make people move through a meaningful life. Furthermore, he is also a hiking professional with 20 years experience and a mountaineer guide, registered at AGUIA (Aiuruoca Guides Association).

Patricki
Patrick or Txai txana Rashkar is a medicine man who conducts ceremonies of the Sacred Fire. Rituals as well as encounters of the Rainbow family are experiences facilitated by him. He also coordinates permaculture along with bioconstruction activities. His proposal is to invite volunteers interested in awakening their gifts. The ones that are open to learn techniques along with practices of permaculture such as hyperadobe, natural plaster, constructions with bamboo are more than welcome. In this experience, they can learn more about cooking in community. In addition, they learn how to use techniques of setting up vegetable gardens and fast-growing food crops on a daily basis.
